80s for Sunday, but a thunderstorm is possible

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — There is a small chance for a shower overnight Saturday. A warm front will move north across the area and could help trigger a shower or storm during the day. The threat for a severe thunderstorm is small and mainly north of our area. Temperatures will rise into the 80s. Warmer weather will return Monday with some areas near 90 degrees by afternoon with record highs possible.

What can we expect for Sunday and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game on Monday?

The warm front not only brings a higher chance for scattered thunderstorms Sunday afternoon, it also could bring severe weather because of the twisting winds along the front. Briefly heavy rain, hail, gusty winds, and a tornado are possible in the strongest storms, especially north of Houston. Temperatures will warm from a lower near 60 to a high in the low 80s. Monday’s weather will be dry but warm and humid. Temperatures will soar to near 90, potentially breaking the record high of 87 in 2006.

What’s the early outlook for Easter week?

It will get rather warm Monday and Tuesday behind the warm front. Highs will pop into the upper 80s both days. A cold front Wednesday could bring some heavy rain and storms. Cooler weather with clouds and some rain or storms at times may continue Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
